Starting a 90-day-free-of-PM reboot challenge

I really need to do this!

Wave of sorrow,
Do not drown me now:
I see the island
Still ahead somehow.
I see the island
And its sands are fair:
Wave of sorrow,
Take me there.

~ “Island” The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, p. 376​

Way to go, keep it up!

Nine is one-tenth of 90! So slowly I creep--10% at a time

When the morning’s freshness has been replaced by the weariness of midday, when the leg muscles quiver under the strain, the climb seems endless, and, suddenly, nothing will go quite as you wish—it is then that you must not hesitate.

~ Dag Hammarskjöld, Markings, 105​

I hope it is not too late to join this challenge. It has been really hard to try and quit this addiction on my own so I am hoping that reaching out to others for help and advice on NoFap will keep me PMO free! I know I can make it to 90 days!

 

Never too late. Start counting your days. Vent when you need to.

 

Still no urge for me, but it will come sooner or later.

I wanted to share with you how this thing began for me.
I'm not so young anymore (approaching my 50s), and I believe it began when there started to be less occasions for sex with my wife. Her desire decreased a lot with menopause.
I started thinking that I had to find a way to give vent to my desires, and auto-convinced myself that it was even necessary for my health!...
Till I read on these page that it's probably the opposite...

 

I hit a road bump....had a relapse yesterday....I'm not so much bummed over it as it was the longest I've ever gone....but no where near where I want to be....so back to square one....but getting back up and moving...

 

I'd like to know what some of you do when you have an urge? I've watched some videos on ideas that some people have like doing push-ups or going for a walk, but what are some other things that have really worked for you to get rid of that urge to masturbate when it randomly comes?

 

You had great streak going--glad you are back at it.

 

For those of you who are on day 0, relax and dont worry..

The NF Companion app has a kind of meditation exercise to do when tempted.

 

I completed a 24 day streak on June 8--half way there. Hope to go much further!

“Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead,” said Scrooge. “But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change.”

I believe good sleep habits are helpful. I also find meditation, exercise and socializing are also helpful.

 

Checking in....back on track despite the relapse....a day abstained is a day gained....I look back and think how just one day is a huge improvement compared to where I was when I started this....I'm taking it one day at a time....let's do this!

 

I am on day 7 but can restart the journey with all above friends. Gud to see above comments. We all are on same journey and our destination is one and the same that is freedom from PMO. Let's start the journey guys....

 

Hye!! I was away for vacation. NO PM for 23 days!!!! Still Surviving getting all fun back in life. stiffies are back and getting night falls. Feeling is fucking great!!! Hope it keeps me going!!!

 

So I just joined the community today and I am looking forward to 'reboot' and to getting myself back. 90 days...wow. All I know is I'm going to give it my best and I'm really thankful to be able to join you guys on this journey.

 

Had to come back here.
Urges are strong today. I blame it on the edging. But, haven't PMO, yet. I was thinking of watching P . Then, I realized it is just the sick bastard talking. And reasoning as to why he wants the dopamine kick.
I won't be feeding that bastard today. Let him starve to death.
I plan to hit the gym and socialize if the urges aggravated.

 

On day three now and got flue so the urge to make myself feel better with PMO has crossed my mind...but like @This is Anup said...won't give the false self what he wants. Only 87 days left!

 

Welcome to NoFap and congrats on taking this big challenge!
